What does hire cost?

A standard G2 live hire starts from £460 + VAT, covering hall hire, the standard lighting package and front-of-house engineering. PRS on net ticket sales, VAT and any additional staffing or production requirements are excluded.

Can we use a backdrop?

Yes. Backdrops fly from the upstage backdrop bar, but valid fire certification is required and all plans must be advanced before the event.

Can we bring touring rigging or follow spots?

No. There are no usable flying points for touring equipment and no suitable follow-spot position or power supply within the room.

Can we request a different console?

Subject to no conflict with Main Hall activity, a Midas Pro2 may be available by prior arrangement. Include your console request in the advance so the team can confirm availability and cost.

Where can merchandise go?

Merchandise can be positioned in the VIP raised booth at the rear of the hall. Confirm your requirements while advancing the event so the space is planned properly.
